3.5/4

I found this recipe
in 1999 and it has
been my favorite
turkey ever since;
tried a couple
different once, none
comes even close. I
follow the recipe,
just change the oven
temp and cooking
time(lower temp,
longer cooking).
Comes out perfect
every time!

This stuffing is really good. I made it to accompany a large turkey breast (used basting sauce #1 and ommitted the fruit). The turkey was juicy and tasty, the stuffing really good. Would make it again.

Love this turkey! Didn't do the dressing, as Grandma's works great, but the turkey was out of this world! Perfect crispy skin, great flavor with out tons of work or crazy additions.

LOVE this stuffing. It works best, however, as stuffing and not dressing (e.g. cook inside the bird). The natural turkey juices keep it moist and mellow the flavors. I make this every year.

I have been making
this turkey since
1999, and have
regretted the few
occasions when I
tried something
different. While I
don't care for the
stuffing, it's a
matter of personal
taste (too much meat
for me), and not any
fault of the recipe. I
made the stuffing for
my family two years in a row,
and my brother raved
about it.
This turkey, however,
comes out so moist and
delicious that it puts
turkey back in its
place as STAR on the
thanksgiving table,
rather than butt of
holiday jokes. Thank
you Epicurious!

As a foreigner chef,
the outcome of the
recipe was totally
unknown.. (never
prepared a whole
turkey before; not
common in Italy). It's
now two years that I
give a party for my
American and Italian
friends: they find it
irresistible!! the
fact that the stuffing
is so complicate,
challenges our chef
skills.. cook it outside the bird; the second busting is a MUST!!

I made this last year for Christmas, but I think I actually stuffed the bird - although it isn't explicit in the recipe. Is the stuffing better if cooked on the side? Thanks for your answers...

Yum. Everyone loved this one. The stuffing was really great and the turkey was perfect. I didn't really taste the fruit or the spices in the turkey, but it showed up nicely in the gravy. Didn't do the second basting per comments. Next time I will add the second basting just so the maple flavor blends in the gravy too.
